No doubt that MS has a great opportunity now and so has Nokia. Their partnership better move fast otherwise it won't be able to benefit. Without knowing the details of the partnership, the content in the OP sounds mostly hyperbole and opini

I am happy to make my contribution to the Clojure fund. I am curious though, whether this model also becomes applicable to the other Clojure libraries and how would that play out.

Indeed that is a useful little skill to have. I am looking for skills at a somewhat higher level than regular expressions though. For instance, like some of those mentioned in the question above.

It is the exercise and eating habits combo that works. Weight gain = Calories In - Calories out. Exercising along with the judicious diet (not starving) is what works. I recently came across two books that throw light on the interesting and

With all due respect, this is where I do not agree. Microsoft is a company with a very diverse product spectrum and $60B in revenue. One has to give them some credit for sustaining high level of revenues and profit growth. It would be only

>>"the past - their operating system crashing and dying. It's a necessary evil for them (Until they discover linux/osx if they ever do)." Don't intend to start a flame war but this is ridiculous. How do you explain ~95% of desktops

All of these sound like suggestions that you just "like" OS X better than any MS OS. "No falling behind the open-source development curve" I agree with this one somewhat. All others are simply not convincing enough. Malware argument is ju

Definitely not into this for FUD :) Also have no intention for starting PC brand war here. One can go visit a PC vendor's web site (say, dell) look at the notebook/desktop/workstation hardware configuration and prices and then compare with

The point that the article makes is not a technical one. It is a philosophical one instead. The ideas of tomorrow must look beyond what is possible today into anticipating what may be possible tomorrow. The execution of such an idea would t

This is an extremely myopic perspective of a feature that opens up possibilities. Like somebody said, everything can be abused. But then people have the supreme authority to reject those who do.

I was hoping to see a compact implementation of diff algorithm. However, the script seems to be relying on using the 'diff' utility already present. Not a bad thing, but I was expecting to see something else.
